Prohibition Moves Forward After District Attorney Meeting
Hospitals and manufacturing plants relying on beverage alcohol will be cut off until June 1 as statewide prohibition takes effect. The Friday meeting at the Manufacturers' Association offices in the Gunter Motel, with District Attorney D. A. McAskill present, clarified which institutions can still obtain denatured or other alcohol under existing rules. Several factories use alcohol in production and science, with drug firms still able to secure supplies if they meet requirements. A machine gun organization groundwork section for the Ninety fourth division at Camp Travis was staked out, north of the 1000 inch range and bound by Dashiel Road Saldoe Creek and a gravel pit, for use by all units.
